Review: Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

Skrevet af Noel Christensen i Kamera, Review

DigitalCameraReview.com har endnu engang haft et Canon kamera på testbænken, denne gang Canon PowerShot SX1 IS, et superzoom kamera som tidligere er blevet rost for en rigtig god video-del.

DigitalCameraReview.com skriver bl.a.:
While Canon may have taken their time getting a 20x ultrazoom into service with the SX10 IS, they haven’t waited all that long in producing a follow up model to share the spotlight in this market niche: the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS. Folks will have to look carefully because the cameras are virtual twins: the bodies appear identical but the SX1 IS picks up an extra sensor on the front for a wireless controller and has a slightly larger 2.8 inch LCD monitor. The SX1 IS body is minimally larger and weighs about 0.8 ounces more. But while the body similarities may suggest that the SX1 IS is the most tepid of follow-ups, there are some serious hardware and performance differences under the skin.

The SX1 IS sports a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) sensor in place of the usual CCD (charge-coupled device) found in virtually all compact digitals. CMOS technology is generally credited with high noise immunity and low static power consumption, and the SX1 IS marks Canon’s first venture into the compact market with such a sensor. But wait – there’s more: the SX1 IS can record full HD video. Finally, the camera has RAW capability.

All of this is accompanied by a $600 MSRP, fully $200 over its less well-endowed sibling. If some of you are thinking the price sounds like entry-level DSLR territory you’re correct – Canon’s Rebel XS kit carries the same sticker and Nikon’s D40 kit is a full $100 less. Of course, neither of those units offers a lens ranging from 28 to 560mm, so let’s see what “evolved technology” SX1 IS brings to the table.
